    I like Harden shooting a low amount of smart shots insted of a bunch of a bad one. Is this a new strategy by McHale?

    Harden finding his shot again. This looks very good.

    I like how even when everyone is bashing Harden for having a terrible game, he still has 19 points on 5-6 FGA, 2-2 3P, and 7-7 FTA.

    This is what pisses me off like Patterson.

    It's just really simple. Be a Power Forward, not a Small Forward. If he plays how he looks he looks great out there. Maybe at that meeting he was called out a bit for his pathetic games.

    I don't even think its this. I have heard tons of interviews and he doesn't come across as this type of player/person. There is a difference with him now and when he played with OKC and its an adjustment not to mention I'm sure that the coaching and front office put a lot of expectations on him, I think he feels VERY responsible for the success or failure of this team (it's only plainly written in his contract). I think a lot of it for both Harden (and even Lin) is getting adjusted to playing for the Rockets from coming from teams like OKC and the Knicks, more of an adjustment for Harden of course. You have seasoned players vs rookies and sophmore players. There is understandbly trust issues where you sometimes just want to take over and do it yourself. He definitely has to work on that but to say its his ego I think is plainly wrong.

    What a shot by Harden. No player in Rockets can do what he did just now.

    19 points on 6 shots for Harden? This could've been one of the most efficient performances ever if he didn't have 7 turnovers.

    Anyone seeing that Harden doesn't pass the ball to Lin?

    I don't understand why they still do it. Every time they try to pass it to him, it never works. Asik is just a terrible offensive player. He's basically useless on that end. He's only good for grabbing rebounds and put backs. But other than that, he's a black hole when they pass it to him.

    It's one game....can we at least let him string together 2 quality games before declaring him the answer at 4?
